It's not ridiculously high. It's the tax rate for high earners. They should pay their fare share of taxes considering they do more than enough to avoid paying taxes offshore.
The low income earners in Britain as it is already pay proportionately more tax than the rich. I'm sure it must be hard living on £90k a week.
Knowing footballer's avarice it may well prove a deterrent to foreign players wanting to play in the EPL compared to La Liga unless the club can afford paying ridiculous wages to offset the tax ie Yaya Toure 220K a week.

I know this is a Barca forum, but WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, in every thread about a good player from a rival club, does some dickhead have to come and say Messi is better? Far out, everybody knows he's the best player right now, no need to come in and screw up threads about other players with Messi sucking, it's getting old.

Tevez is similar to Rooney in 1 area. You can play Wayne Rooney on the wing like he did when Ronaldo was at United and he'll chip in with 20 or more goals a season and in double figures on assists, that is world class form, can tevez do that? Infact last season i believe is the 1st season Tevez scored 20 or more goals in his career (and he plays centre forward at that).
Rooney can play 2nd striker which is probably his best position like he did when Rudd was at Utd and he'll look on like of the best players in the world = world class, he can play as a centre forward (like he did last season) and score 34 goals in three quaters of a season in English football where it is a lot harder to score, that is world class form - You could even stick Rooney in centre midfield and he'll still look like one of the best players in the world, that's due to the allroundness of his game.
Drogba, Tevez, Villa, Eto'o (players in Rooney's position) cannot do what Rooney does. You only have to look at the last few days, Rooney being in the poor form he's in (he's having problems on and off the pitch though) and he had a choice of any club in the world to go to. How many players in world football have had every club wanting them when they become available? I can't think of 1, that's how good he is.
As i said i'm not a Utd fan, but i'm a football fan and people should recognise his qualitys.

the key difference between rooney and tevez is you can play rooney as a #9 and he'll play brilliantly as a #9.
when you play tevez as a #9 he runs around all over the place, and you'll often not have a striker in the box because of his positional indiscipline. rooney's vision for a pass is also much greater, especially over distance.
but then tevez balances that out by having an inzaghi-esque "knack" for scoring goals. he just sniffs them out, it's brilliantly illogical.
otherwise they're remarkably even in technique, skill, first-touch (often awful) and work-rate.

nutnut Tevez has never been a striker as such but a shadow striker a media punta in Argentine parlance whose job is to hoover up odds and ends and link the midfield and other out and out '9'.
Tevez because of his body strength can play as a centre forward albeit the ball needs to be played into him rather than aerially one area which Rooney has an advantage. Otherwise as Metaphysical says they are pretty similar.
Tevez despite not hitting so many goals creates an awful lot and does invaluable work by tiring out defenders and pressuring them into errors. That said while he has been in England he has lost positional discipline evidenced at national team level vis a vis say Aguero who knows his role and does not mess up 'plays' not to mention holding onto the ball for too long and losing it. He compared to his time at Boca has also lost some subtlety in his play and is far more direct.
When at Boca and Corinthians he was more of a cold player in his on the pitch thinking.

looooooool, no-one is saying we're the greatest club in history, based on trophies won it has to be Madrid (their haul of European cups being the main reason). Its funny how you all are spouting off that we're lucky to win the '99 and '08 cups, then deny that you were lucky against Chelsea in semis (when you last won it).
Get over it, stop being bitter.
